Headway Pickups DEMO - London, ON

Don't miss this demonstration of the amazing Headway "The Band" fiddle and acoustic string instrument pickup system, presented by Pete Smith of the UK-based Headway Audio Systems and Canadian Irish fiddler Saskia Tomkins.

About the Pickup:
The Band is an instant-fit pick-up which Velcro's to itself around the the body of the instrument. It requires no alteration of the instrument itself and generates a strong passive (no batteries required) signal which can usually be plugged straight into a mixing desk or combo amp. The multiple pick-up elements of the Violin version of The Band are tuned specifically for violin and deliver a lively, tailored passive signal. The Band is used equally in folk/rock and classical situations and is a favourite with sound engineers and players alike, as it offers far greater volume levels before feedback, compared to mics. You can avoid being tied down to mic stands and The Band cuts feedback, bowing noise, body noise and excessive treble by acoustic filter.
